A Family Legacy Since 1951

Founded in 1951 in the prestigious village of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Champagne Pertois-Moriset is an independent, family-owned grower-producer with generations of winemaking heritage. Established by Yves Pertois and Janine Moriset, who united two longstanding winegrowing families from the Côte des Blancs, the estate has remained firmly in family hands. Today, their granddaughter Cécile and her husband Vincent lead the house, continuing a legacy of craftsmanship and tradition. The estate encompasses 20.70 hectares across two distinct terroirs: the Chardonnay-dominated Côte des Blancs and the Coteaux Sézannais, where both Pinot Noir and Chardonnay thrive.

Food Pairings

With its vibrant acidity, delicate texture and pronounced chalky minerality, Cramant Grand Cru 2018 is a beautiful match for refined seafood dishes. Enjoy alongside freshly shucked oysters, scallop crudo, grilled langoustines or delicate white fish with a citrus beurre blanc. Its subtle savoury complexity also complements roasted poultry, creamy goat's cheese and aged Comté, while the wine's long, saline finish makes it particularly suited to dishes that celebrate fresh, delicate flavours.

Technical Notes

Produced exclusively from 100% Chardonnay grown in the Grand Cru village of Cramant in the Côte des Blancs, this single-village vintage champagne forms part of Pertois-Moriset's Mono-Village collection. The vines average approximately 50 years of age, rooted in the region's renowned chalk-rich soils that contribute exceptional minerality and finesse. Harvested in 2018, the wine spent more than four years ageing on its lees before disgorgement in April 2023, developing texture and complexity while preserving its vibrant acidity. Finished with an exceptionally low dosage of just 1.5 g/L, this Extra Brut champagne is a beautifully pure expression of its terroir, with an alcohol content of 12.5%.

What to Expect

An elegant and beautifully precise Blanc de Blancs, Cramant Grand Cru 2018 captures the remarkable finesse and chalky minerality of its celebrated terroir. Delicate aromas of lemon zest, white flowers and subtle beeswax unfold alongside hints of freshly baked bread and crushed chalk. The palate is finely structured, with vibrant citrus, a delicate creamy mousse and a striking line of acidity that brings freshness and tension. A subtle saline character adds complexity, leading to a long, mineral-driven finish that is wonderfully pure and precise.
